Baker, '86, and Rogers, '87, ran the 110 yards dash recently in 11 1.2 seconds. This ties the amateur record...
...last we are on the tide wave of advance, and hope to send a team to Mott Haven. On looking over the records, it will be found that Williams won first prizes in the one hundred yards dash and quarter-mile run, in 1876, the first year of the annual meetings.

Both men have covered the distance in 10 1-2 seconds, and there are strong hopes that Sherrill will manage to get this down a fifth of a second or so. His chances would be much better if he could improve his method of starting. Steady training and good coaching...
